hey paxtonian12 i pitch to and i go to pitching lesssons, and they tell me when i get mad that a pitcher never shows her emotions, plus i think you have good motion just bring the arm before the hip and one more thing when you pitch you explode dont hold it in really jump and drag your foot and it wont be a iilegal pitch because my pitch is similar and i just have to drag my foot and remember pull back with the foot ! goodluck maybe we will be in the pro league one day !*(:*!!!!!!!
I coach the baseball and softball. She did leap, but its not illegal. But however, she lost control of the pitch and the velocity because of the leap, she loses momentum on the delivery.
Illegal is when the pitcher steps out too wide and the umpire will call an illegal pitch and a balk. Pitcher love to make wide steps because it can either increases velocity, or curves, which makes softball pitchers very dominant.
it is the pitchers responsibility to maintain the area of the rubber while in game. That's why you see pitchers filling in the hole between pitches. Any ASA ump worth their salt would give her a warning the call an illegal pitch.
Not illegal due to the hole but many pitchers get so much heat from umpires and opposing coaches who dnt know any better. It's really much easier to do the "leap and drag" on a proper pitching surface
Its actually not an illegal pitch. It does look like shes leaping, but in the ASA rule book it says that if theres a hole a pitchers drag foot can break contact with the ground, but not go above the plane of where the ground would be.
its not illegal. i play softball and i pitch. but tell her not to lean in that much, and keep herself straight, and push hard off of the mound to get a better stride
Try placing a hand towel under the toe of her drag foot and tell her, where here foot goes, the towel goes. It will help teach her to get her foot in the right position to push off and keep it down. Where she is practicing, I agree; I would not penalize her as an umpire because of the fact there is no surface where her foot would normally drag. She is on the right track... keep up the good work.
Whoever says she is "crow hopping" or illegally pitching is a moron. Her foot clearly drags each pitch except for initially coming off the rubber but this is because of the absence of dirt. If she filled in the hole every time her foot would drag the entire way through dirt, you can't penalize a pitcher for that especially when there is no intent to hop, there is a clear distinction between a hop to gain advantage and this.
hahaha at the end was FUNNY!!!!!!! i am signing up for it this year and this is my first time.My big sister plays softball too

she needs to drag anyways. they will be strict about it when she gets to the upper levels. try doing the towel drill. that will help her a ton!
